Delivery and Shipment Handling Units
Delivery and Shipment Handling Units
Business Requirement:
1. Creation of Delivery Handling unit for over packing and master cartons even if
over packing is not required.
2. Creation of Shipment Handling Unit for boxes packed in Deliveries to allow receipt
by HU# in the receiving plants.
Challenges: While creating shipment handling unit, all the delivery handling units
are automatically attached to the shipment handling unit and they are deleted from
deliveries when the BAPI (BAPI_HU_CREATE) is used. BAPI_HU_CREATE has the
parameter LOWER_LEVEL_EXID is present in tables parameter (BAPIHUITEM),
however after using this parameter to attach the delivery handling units to Shipment,
these handling units are deleted from delivery.
Solution – In order to avoid above issue we had gone ahead of different approach
and able to attach the delivery handling units to shipment with correct hierarchy. we
need to call the below bapi’s in sequence to achieve the above functionality
1. Delivery handling units are correctly packed and the hierarchy is correct
2. However when we pack the delivery boxes to shipment the hierarchy is off as
shown below. The hierarchy should be ‘0’ for Shipment handling unit,’1′ for delivery
handling unit and ‘2’ for material.
1.The handling units for delivery are shown below which was successfully attached
to delivery
2. HUPAST tcode for handling units with respect to delivery.
3. Handling units with respect to delivery shown below and the important element is
the hierarchy (Shipment handling unit comes first , then delivery handling unit and
then the packaging materials.

Name
In this activity, you can maintain number ranges for number assignment for handling unit
identification via number range intervals.
The SAP System automatically assigns a sequential number from the specified number
range.
When creating a handling unit, you use a number from the external number range.
It is possible to maintain multiple internal and external number range intervals in order to assign
numbers from different intervals to various packaging material types.
Requirements
The number assignment section in the packaging material type of the packaging material must
be customized for number assignment from an internal or external number range interval in
order for it to take place.
Standard settings
A delivery of an internal and external number range interval with suggested values is available.
Recommendation
When choosing your intervals, make sure that the number ranges will not overlap.
Activities
To define a number range, you must insert a new number range interval:
Transportation
You transport number range objects as follows:
Choose Interval -> Transport in the accounting document Number Range screen.
All intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the
import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their
values at the time of export.
Further notes
If you also plan to use handling units in the warehouse in connection with storage units, make
sure that the maintenance for number range intervals for storage units has the same length as
the intervals maintained here.
